"On April 15, 2015, members of the Potomac River Artists Guild met for a luncheon at the Bavarian Inn in Shepherdstown, WV to say "thank you" to our immediate past president, Mary Alice Bowers. Mary Alice is a founding member of the Group now 15 years old. She has held the office of president several times during that tenure. She was noted for her dedication to the Group, her tenacity in persuading members to "volunteer" for various committees and chairmanships and her "get the job done" attitude for the benefit of the Group as well as promoting the Group's fine art to the public."
